Vata minds are often very enthusiastic, creative, flexible, vibrant, mature, mentally disciplined and quick to learn. On the flip side, they may have very poor memory retention abilities. People with a predominant Vata dosha find teaching and counseling ideal career choices. They are happiest when surrounded by nature and are very sensitive to sounds. The Vata mind can be restless at times and is always on alert but thrives when they have a constant routine. Many Vata type people are extremely sensitive and can be attuned to subtle spiritual energies.
